Having a baby and becoming a mother is supposed to be joyful –
but what if it’s not? On this episode Julie talks to Kristina Cowan

by a traumatic birth experience. Kristina is a journalist and her
brush with postpartum depression compelled her to use her writing
skills to comfort and empower other people battling mood disorders.
